"You know best why you came to me to-night--I suppose you followed me and took a room.

I heard somebody going upstairs soon after I arrived." She nodded.
"Do you want--this ?" she asked and pointed to the wallet on the table.
"Take it away with you." She got up to her feet unsteadily and swayed toward him.

In a second he was by her side, his arms about her.

She made no resistance, but rather he felt a yielding towards him which he had missed before.

Her pale face was upturned to his and he stooped and kissed her.
"Odette! Odette!" he whispered.
